The Social Ministry group is having a Harvest Home collection for the Pearl City Food Pantry that started on October 19th. Grocery bags with a list of needed items were handed out after worship on that day and bags are still available in the Narthex. Monetary donations will also be accepted for the Harvest Home collection and checks should be made out to St. John’s Lutheran Church. This collection will conclude on November 16th when all the donations will be blessed during the service.
